A terrible headache that felt as if a thousand spikes pierced through her head...
That was what Georgina Cooper felt as soon as she opened her eyes. The sun was already up, and the sunlight shone through the huge window which revealed the luxuriously decorated room she was in.
Georgina was still in a daze while she struggled to prop herself up on the bed. The blanket that was covering her body slowly slid down, and she immediately felt a cold breeze which woke her up from her groggy state. She quickly pulled the blanket up with her tiny little hands to cover all of her body.
Georgina understood that the headache that she was experiencing was a hangover. She pressed her hands on her aching temples and tried hard to recall what happened after her blind date last night.
She sat on the bed motionless while trying her best to rack her brains.
The rolling in the sheets, the passionate kisses, and the clothes that were violently ripped into pieces...
Memories of last night started coming back to her, and Georgina's eyes were wide opened in disbelief.
"Sh*t!"
She cussed out loud, and instantly gasped in pain when she felt a tearing pain on her lips.
Georgina slowly raised her hand to touch her lips. The moment her slender fingers touched them, she felt blood seeping from her lips. The blood looked like a red poppy flower, enchanting and irresistible.
Her heart sank, like a huge boulder falling into a calm lake, causing ripples to form.
Georgina quickly picked up the bedsheet and wrapped herself up while she ran barefooted to the bathroom.
The bathroom was surprisingly huge with a luxurious interior design. Even the ground was made of exquisite marbles. However, Georgina did not have time to care about these things. She was more interested to look at her reflection in the mirror with gold rim edges.
She thought she would look like a huge mess, but her reflection showed otherwise. Her big eyes were sparkling bright and her cheeks were glowing with rosy shades of pink. She looked like she just had a proper after-sex glow.
Except for her lips, which showed traces of dried blood at the corner of her mouth. Just then, it was starting to bleed again, looking like a shocking scene.
Georgina gritted her teeth and cursed, "What the hell!"
She twisted her neck to the sides, only to find that it was covered all over by hickeys.
Gritting her teeth once again, she dropped the blanket that was covering her body, and to her surprise, there were even more hickeys, which were much more intense than the ones on her neck.
Not only was her body covered with love bites, but there were scratch marks on her shoulders as well. These marks reminded her of the passionate night that she spent with him last night.
Her precious virginity that she had been carefully guarding over the past twenty years was gone in just one night. She felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, and even the state of her body looked especially like an eyesore.
She couldn't help but think about the gentle and handsome face that lingered in her mind for the past few years.
She remembered that he had been repeatedly asking for it. And now she had lost her virginity to a man whom she couldn't even remember clearly because she was so drunk.
All of a sudden, she felt the thrill of revenge welling up in her heart. Her soft pink lips curved up slightly and formed a cunning yet bitter smile.
"Why do you still think of him? He's just a scumbag." Georgina sneered at herself as she looked in the mirror.
Looking at the red and purple bruises on her body, she thought about the wild scenes that happened last night yet again.
It was true that she was the one who tried to force him into it. It wouldn't be quite accurate to say that she was at a disadvantage.
Despite that, she didn't want his scent lingering on her body. Georgina immediately wanted to take a hot shower to clean herself thoroughly.
However, just as she turned on the shower head, she heard a familiar ringtone rang from the bedroom.
It was the ringtone that was specially set up for her mother's call.
With the respect she had for her mother, Georgina quickly got out from the shower to grab the blanket and wrapped it around her body. She ran to the room to pick up her vibrating phone on the nightstand.
"Mommy," she murmured softly.
As expected, her mother had called to ask about her blind date last night. "How did it go with the blind date? Was there anyone you like?"
Georgina gritted her teeth and forced out the words from her mouth. "Well, It's way better than what you imagined."
Her mother had always hoped to hear some good news from all the blind dates she had so far... Now that she has already slept with someone, she progressed way more ahead than having a decent conversation over dinner.
Hearing her reply, her mother burst into laughter on the other end. Her simple response had already pleased her mother, who then asked one question after another, "How did he look? Do you have photos of him? What kind of education degree does he have? What is his job?"
Georgina was about to reply to her questions, but she accidentally ripped open her wound on her lips. She immediately hissed in pain and slowly murmured, "Mom, I'm not a social worker... How could I ask him so many personal questions on our first date?" She looked at the watch that had been properly placed on the nightstand and continued, "I'm at work now, gotta go."
"Don't hang up first!" Her mother stopped her before she hung up and said, "I've arranged an appointment for you to have a health screening at the hospital today. It's a consultation from an expert. It's not easy to get an appointment, and there's still an hour left, so don't be late."
"Mom, I'm working today. How about rescheduling it to tomorrow?" Georgina spoke slowly and carefully to prevent her lips from getting ripped the second time.
"That's what you always say! The fact is that you've already postponed your appointment several times. Is your work more important than your own health? Do you think you're still a kid? You should start worrying about yourself! How come I'm the one worrying about you all the time? You know what happened to Auntie Lily's daughter upstairs, don't you? Such a good lady like her wouldn't still be single in her thirties had her breasts not been removed due to breast cancer!"
Even though Georgina knew that her mother was concerned about her, she couldn't stand her nagging.
"Alright mom, I'll be on my way," she had no choice but to quickly agree.
Once she hung up the phone, she took a deep breath and lay on the bed. She glanced over on the pillow next to her, only to find a note which was as white as the sheet underneath the pillow, folded in half.
When she opened it, she saw numbers on it.
Without a second thought, Georgina crumpled the note into a ball and threw it on the floor.
"It's just a one-night stand after all. Why do I need to save his number? It's not like I'm going to see him again."
Obviously, she didn't want to have any more interaction with the man she had just slept with. She would prefer for them to not meet each other again.
In a split second, she remembered the consultation that her mother had mentioned earlier. Without wasting any more time, she quickly rolled over and got up from the bed. Fumbling through the clothes on the ground, she picked up the only piece of clothing that had not been torn.
As soon as she picked up the clothes, she could immediately smell the scent of pungent red wine. Georgina frowned. She had always been careful about her attire. However, considering the fact that she was in a rush, she had no choice but to wear the same clothing.
The purple-red hickeys that were visible on her neck could easily give her out, and Georgina didn't want to be stared at by judgemental glances, so she took out a scarf from her bag to conceal her neck.
When she walked out from the entrance of the hotel, a luxurious limo stopped right in front of her. The man in a suit asked if she needed transport service.
It was not until this moment that Georgina realized she was at one of the most luxurious hotels in the country.
She quickly got into the limo. The driver looked at her from the rearview mirror and asked, "Where do you want to go, Miss?"
"Cornerstone Hospital, please."
With a very stable speed, the car drove through the congested roads.
Suddenly, her phone rang again.
Georgina couldn't help but sigh. Ever since her mother knew about Auntie Lily's daughter's incident, she had always been worried about whether her own daughter would have the same health issue.
As a result, she would urge her for health screening every now and then. This time, she purposely made an appointment with the experts, in case Georgina would forget about the appointment again.
She picked up the phone while looking out of the car window at the white building in the distance with a red sign that read 'Cornerstone Hospital'. She murmured softly, "Mom, I've arrived at the hospital. Don't worry. I'll let you know the result after my examination."
Once she got out of the limo, she noticed that the hospital was crowded.
Cornerstone Hospital was one of the most well-known hospitals in the country. Lots of people would come all the way here just to visit the doctors. Taking the elevators in the lobby was not even an option since it was always crowded. The ones who were able to get in the elevator were definitely the lucky ones.
Georgina couldn't squeeze her way into the elevator amidst the crowd, and she was pushed out several times. Finally, she decided to take another route by entering through the back door instead.
There was an elevator at the back door of the hospital, which she accidentally found out when she accompanied one of her colleagues to the hospital not too long ago. Unlike the crowded elevators in the lobby, this elevator was not occupied at all, so she found it strange that there weren't any nurses or doctors using it.
Georgina secretly snickered as she walked into the empty elevator and thought to herself, "What's wrong with them? They'd rather squeeze in a crowded elevator when there's no one fighting for space in this empty elevator."
The number showing on the panel slowly went up.
On the fourth floor.
With a "ding", the elevator door slowly opened on both sides.
Georgina looked up and saw a tall and handsome figure standing right in front of her.
